Surya Moisturising Hand Sanitizer Eco Product Review
With Swine Flu being in the news so much, hand santisers (although spelt with a ‘z’ on this product) are all the rage with every shop form the cheap to the high-class selling them. But this is the first natural and organic hand sanitiser ...
Simply Soaps’ Organic Guy Bar Soap Eco Product Review
As the name might suggest, the Organic Guy Bar Soap from So Organic is simple: simple packaging, simple product. While I usually tend to buy mainstream, branded products – preferring facewashes and shower gels to soaps, which I’ve found leave you...
Organic Blue Hair and Body Wash Eco Product Review
Hair and Body Wash for Men by Organic Blue from So Organic is an all natural and organic shower gel and shampoo combination. The product is SLS free and does not contain parabens or any synthetic colours or fragrances. The first thing I noticed when ...
Aloe Pura Dental Floss Eco Product Review
Now I’m not sure if this review will be helpful or not. I’ve not tried the stuff myself, but you can find out more on the Trust William website. This review was written by Andy, who wanted to title it: Is the floss posh or dross? That sor...
Surya Brazil Nutritive Hair Mask Eco Product Review
The first thing you notice about the Surya Brazil Nutritive Hair Mask is the smell. Described in the accompanying pamphlet as an ‘all-embracing, exotic and seductive scent’, the Preciosa essential oil gives the product a very distinctive smell, a...
JASON Tea Tree Satin Body Wash Eco Product Review
Big Green Smile recently sent me the JASON Mango Satin Body Wash, which I reviewed here, and along with it they sent the tea tree variant. And it’s even better to be honest. If I’d reviewed it the other way around, I may not have liked t...
Burt’s Bees All Natural Shave Cream Eco Product Review
Burt’s Bees All Natural Shave Cream combines sunflower oil, coconut oil and glycerin, and contains chamomile and calendula to create a 100% natural alternative to standard shaving products. The cream is pH balanced and free of sodium lauryl, parabe...
JASON Mango Satin Body Wash Eco Product Review
Thanks to Big Green Smile I’m now the owner of a massive tub of body wash. JASON Mango Satin Body Wash to be precise and at 900ml it’s an imposing sight in the bathroom, but more on that later. JASON is a brand from Australia, its product...
Raw Organic 80% Organic Refreshing Body Wash Eco Product Review
The first thing you notice about this Raw Organic 80% Organic Refreshing Body Wash is that the 80% bit stands out. But actually I like that. A lot of cosmetics are called organic but have permitted non-organic ingredients, while this one just tells y...
Hemp Soap With Almond Eco Product Review
This Hemp and Almond Pure Vegetable Soap from Sativa Bags smells delicious. If you don’t like marzipan, it’s probably not the soap for you but I loved the almond smell which is strong but not overpowering. The smell doesn’t stay on your hands ...
Australian Organics Moisturizing Lotion Eco Product Review
They say you learn something new every day, and today I learnt that Australians spell moisturizing the same way as Americans, with a ‘z’. Well, however you spell it, Big Green Smile sent me some of Australian Organics Moisturizing Lotion ...
Weleda Deodorant Eco Product Review
Everyone wants to smell nice, but doing it in an environmentally friendly way isn’t easy. At Life Goggles we’ve reviewed a few different organic deodorants including Green People’s Organic Homme and my favourite, Bionsen. To try and...
Bentley Organic Revitalising Soap Eco Product Review
As I proved with my review of Simply Soaps’ Tea Tree and Calendula Soap review, it’s not easy writing about a soap. I liked that soap a lot at the time, but after testing this one, it pales in comparison. While it’s still soap obvio...
Ecover Hand Soap Eco Product Review
I’m not sure whether I’ve succumbed to all the news reports about bacteria or I’m becoming a germaphobe, but I’ve started washing my hands more and more. Actually I rarely just go and wash them, more after I’ve been doin...
Bulldog Sensitive Shave Gel Eco Product Review
We have previously reviewed Bulldog Shave Gel and I expected the new Sensitive version to be pretty similar. However I was surprised! Bulldog Sensitive Shave Gel contains aloe vera (helps cool , soothe and soften), jojoba (natural moisturizer), sunf...
Avalon Organics Hand & Body Lotion Eco Product Review
Hand and body lotion is something used by millions of people every day so producing a version that’s kind to the environment is an ridiculously obvious idea, it’s strange we haven’t tested one before. So thanks to Big Green Smile fo...
Duchy Collection Bath Soak Eco Product Review
Taking a bath used to be a luxury, then you could take one every day if you liked and now in these environmentally conscious times, it’s back to being a luxury. For me anyway. So when Big Green Smile sent me some Duchy Collection Rose & Ma...
Tom’s of Maine Cleansing Mouthwash Eco Product Review
Ater reviewing some environmentally friendly toothpaste I thought maybe I should give some mouthwash a go too and Big Green Smile was happy to oblige. Tom’s of Maine is a brand mostly found in stores in America but is quite hard to get hold of ...
Green People Organic Homme Stay Cool Deodorant Eco Product Review
We all love to smell nice and keep the sweat away and Male Organics sent me some Green People Organic Homme Stay Cool Deodorant to test, part of the same range as the shaving gel I gave to Jez to test. It’s free from aluminium, parabens, ethyl ...
Bulldog Sensitive Moisturiser Eco Product Review
I’ve reviewed Bulldog’s moisturiser before, the ‘hydrate’ version back in January 2008. This new version is from the ’sensitive’ range and promises to be kind to my skin. As I mentioned in my previous review I tend...
Bulldog Face Wash Sensitive Eco Product Review
I reviewed Bulldog’s original face scrub recently and liked it a lot. This face wash is the company’s sensitive version of its regular face wash which I haven’t tried before but I usually go for sensitive versions. As with all Bull...
Lavera Men SPA Cool Lemon/Lime Shampoo Eco Product Review
As I’ve been growing my hair, shampoo has become more and more important and as I’m spoilt with all this eco-friendly shampoo I have, I’ve been relishing washing my hair. Lavera Men SPA Cool Lemon/Lime shampoo was sent to me by the ...
Bulldog Face Scrub Original Eco Product Review
I like a good face scrub, I think it’s to do with having a beard/stubble which means I like to get in between all those tricky hairs and get the dirt out. Bulldog’s original face scrub is free from parabens, sodium laureth sulfate, artifi...
Bulldog Natural Grooming Shower Gel - Lemon and Bergamot - Eco Product Review
I last reviewed Bulldog’s shower gel more than a year ago here. I said I liked it but it didn’t really live up to its title of “Awaken”. This new lemon and bergamot version rectifies this and the smell alone will waken you eve...
Santaverde Aloe Vera Shower Gel Eco Product Review
A new friend to Life Goggles, the Natural Beauty Store sent us one of its products to test - Santaverde’s shower gel, made from Aloe Vera. Santaverde products are new to me but very interesting as they don’t contain water, but pure fresh ...
Simply Soaps Tea Tree and Calendula Soap Eco Product Review
Reviewing a soap is pretty simple, all you need to know is: does it work or not? Well yes, but also it’s good to look at what’s in that soap as they can contain all sorts of dodgy chemicals. Male Organics sent me Simply Soaps’ Tree ...
Headonism Organic Haircare Conditioner Eco Product Review
I see myself as a simple soul when it comes to washing my hair - either just shampoo or if the shower gel is suitable for hair then I’ll use that. So when Male Organics gave me some Headonism Organic Haircare Conditioner (scent 2 - sensuality) ...
Simply Soaps Herbal Deli Aftershave Balm Eco Product Review
My friend Jez loves a shave. To be fair he grows a beard in about 15 seconds so it’s either enjoying it or grow a beard. As I went down the route of growning a beard, he’s kindly agreed to test out this Simply Soaps Herbal Deli Aftershave...
For My Kids Eco Products Review
For My Kids is a company that produces cleaning and care products that are safe for your children (and for you) to use. Started by new mum/mom Christine Stewart when she was made aware of the dangers of using conventional/popual household cleaner and...
Green People Organic Homme Shave Now Shaving Gel Eco Product Review
Being one of those no shaving people (see my picture), when Male Organics give me shaving products to test, I rope in Jez to give them a go. He was last seen enjoying the Trevarno shaving soap and when the (deep breath) Green People Organic Homme Sha...
